• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That guy sounds like an idiot, he can't do anything to you.

Sorry for bumping a week-old topic.

I am sorry to again disagree, but, spoken words are very powerful. Jesus Said in Mathew, that we only speak blessings or curses. There is Power in a spoken word. now, just because he/she tried to curse you, means that God can and did intervene. or am I out of line?

It is indeed very comforting to know that I can trust God when all else fails. and he will still accept me.
Very true. Keep in mind that we serve a God infinitely stronger than the demons of this world. The demons that those people "think" they have dominion over are the very one's that will destroy them in the long run. That should not be considered something to give a christian peace of mind. We (as christians ) are called to pray for those who wish to harm us. As much as it goes against human nature, keep that individual in your prayers. Fear is natural and ,at times, even helpful.
But don't let it consume you. God is always there for us and forever will be. ;D
